It’s fitting that Billy Corgan, who just launched a spiritually-minded site/blog, has joined an impressive list of participants in an upcoming open discussion series at NYC’s Rubin Museum of Art (via Hipsters United) on Carl Jung, a psychiatrist who...

Can’t say I’ve ever been much of a Fatboy Slim fan, but his new project with David Byrne, which includes an amazing list of guest vocalists, looks quite promising. Byrne and Slim, aka Norman Cook, have teamed up for a concept album, called Here Lies...

David Byrne wants you to know that wild hearts can’t be broken and that age doesn’t always lead into stodginess. The proof is in this clip from his Live At The Union Chapel DVD, in which he covers Whitney Houston and artfully brings the ‘80s back into the house of God.

he commented on their over-the-top spending on his BLOG:"Those stadium shows may possibly be the most extravagant and expensive (production-wise) ever: $40 million to build the stage and, having done the math, we estimate 200 semi trucks crisscrossing Europe for the duration. It could be professional envy speaking here, but it sure looks like, well, overkill, and just a wee bit out of balance g...

It is well known that Talking Heads singer David Byrne takes his bicycling hobby very seriously. So much so, when asked to help the NYC Department of Transportation choose the winners of a public bike rack design competition, Byrne submitted his own...

Philadelphia is cresting a tidal wave of euphoria. From Barack Obama to local pitcher Cole Hamels, things are going well. Also, David Byrne is in town. Emily Moore was lucky enough to be there too.

If you've been to my MOG page and looked around at all, you've probably seen up at the top where I wrote the following: "Band I most regret never seeing live: Talking Heads." Well, after the David Byrne show this week I think I can safely erase that message. Even though Tina, Chris, and Jerry were not there, I think it's safe to say this show was the closest thing I'll ever see to a Talking ...

Megan Lavelle is a friend of quarterlifeparty and had the chance to check out David Byrne at the lyric last night. She was also awesome enough to capture some video. I just had the privilege of celebrating my birthday (although a day late) with a couple of friends and a live performance from David Byrne. The [...]

As usual, this year's Austin City Limits Festival was a laid back affair, made even more pleasant than normal by the relatively balmy weather -- we were blessed with a nice steady breeze, and even a few occasional clouds this year -- but I spent most of the fest running around trying to see as much as possible. Here are some highlights: david byrneIn addition to being the nicest dudes, Fleet Fo...

Here is a song from David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Brian Eno's album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. You can go here to stream the album and get a free download. One of the things that I loved about the Talking Heads is that they were a little bit out of control. You never knew when a song would suddenly take a turn or when Byrne would start vocally flipping out like some kind of...

This was the first year in three that I didn't make the trek down to Austin for the party in Zilker Park, because of the unexpected arrival of ATP NY but also because of the fully expected urge to gouge out my eyes and ears after taking in mostly the same bands for the fifth time this summer. Except for David Byrne. I really wanted to see David Byrne. He's touring in support of his great Eno-co...

Yesterday the New York Times published a story on former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne's latest project. No, it's not another album with Brian Eno. And, sadly, it's not a some plan to reform the Talking Heads (What a plan that would be!)Byrne, an avid biker, designed nine bike racks that incorporate a theme/trademark of the particular part of New York City they were nailed into. The dollar...
